How does your body react to the fact that you eat too much sugar?

Many people think that an elevated blood sugar level can only be found in diabetics. Nevertheless, this is not so. Many people suffer from this problem, and they do not even notice what changes in the body sugar causes.

If you already have the following symptoms, it's important to find out what caused them, and start taking appropriate measures.

Permanent hunger

A high level of sugar prevents the entry of glucose into the cells. As a result, the body does not receive energy and again asks you for food: this is a vicious circle.

Fatigue

The consumption of large amounts of sugar causes the body to not be able to store and absorb glucose properly. As a result, your body inefficiently uses energy, and the cells of the body do not have enough fuel. As a result, a person feels constant fatigue for no reason.

Frequent urination

With a high level of sugar, the kidneys can not absorb the liquid properly. Since the body is trying to equalize the amount of glucose in cells and blood, it uses intracellular fluid to dissolve blood. As a result, the concentration of glucose comes to normal, but this leads to frequent urination.

Strong thirst

It's your body's response to fluid loss. Controlling the level of dehydration and thirst is in the hypothalamus, which sends the appropriate signals to the brain. Of course, you should not give up drinks, but it will be better if you choose water or unsweetened tea.

Weight loss

You can begin to lose weight, even if you often eat high-calorie food. The reason is that loss of fluid with frequent urination leads to a decrease in its level throughout the body, and this leads to weight loss. In addition, when the level of insulin is insufficient for the metabolism of glucose, the body switches to fat burning. Frequent urination also causes the body to spend more calories. Thus, the body tries to get rid of excess glucose.

Infectious diseases

Urinary tract infections and fungi most often occur in women who have high sugar levels or diabetes mellitus. The fact is that sugar in the blood creates a life-giving medium for yeast and bacteria.

Dry skin

Dry skin can be associated with elevated levels of sugar for various reasons:

• Due to excessive urination, the body is dehydrated to such an extent that the skin begins to dry out.
• Problems with the skin of the legs are a sign of atherosclerosis - hardening and narrowing of the arteries and concomitant decrease in blood circulation. This disease is often found in diabetic patients.
• Damaged nerves can disrupt the proper operation of sweat glands, and they affect the balance of moisture in the skin.

Inability to concentrate

A high level of sugar prevents glucose from reaching the brain cells, so there are difficulties in obtaining energy. This has a bad effect on a person's ability to think and make decisions.

Blurred vision

Blurred vision is also the result of the dehydration effect, as it affects the eye cells. They begin to deform, and the eyes lose the ability to focus.

Wound healing is very slow

This is due to vascular damage, and leads to improper circulation, especially in the limbs. Also, the reason for the slow healing is insufficient nutrition of the tissues.

Impotence

Problems with erection may also appear due to an excess of glucose in the blood. Erection is possible only with the proper operation of nerves, good blood supply and the proper balance of hormones. Nevertheless, an excess of sugar in the blood can adversely affect each of these systems.

Irritability

Researchers say that people with elevated levels of sugar are more anxious, irritable and prone to depression.

The work of the brain depends on the uninterrupted access to it of glucose, and sharp jumps of its level negatively affect its functioning. As a result, our mood suddenly deteriorates.

Sugar also affects the ability of the body to absorb another nutrient that is responsible for our mood - chrome. It is necessary for the body to maintain a stable level of sugar in the blood, because insulin, which cleans glucose from the blood, can not work without it properly.
